I got circumcised 5 weeks ago & my stitches came out a couple weeks ago. But i think part of one of my stitches is stuck inside. Help?

The skin where the stitch is has gone partly yellow. I dont know if its going to dissolve or work its way out.

Were they soluble stitches?

[Abc123efg in reply to Hidden]

I dont think so

If that is the case then they are long overdue being removed. Get in touch with your local surgery for a doctor or nurse to sort you out.

The stitch is underneath my skin i can feel it but im not 100% sure its the stitch it could be how the wounds healing because i read there may be bumps around the incision. But i’ll check with my doctor thanks

I'm 2.5 months post circumcision and I have exactly the same issue as you. There is a yellowish bump around the incision area and I'm also not sure if it's an undissolvable stitch, or not. Some days it looks more pronounced than other days. I'm thinking of leaving it for a bit to see if it disappears (maybe, it's just part of the healing process), otherwise I'll also need to have it checked out by my doctor. Please let me know what your doctor says? Thank you. 👍
